Manitoba budget paints cloudy fiscal outlook for 2010
Manitoba finance minister Wowchuk unveiled Budget 2010 predicting a $545 million shortfall for the year to fund new health, education, policing and family supports. The plan targets a 2014 balanced budget based on 2.5 percent growth this year and 3 percent next, while debt rises by about $2.3 billion to roughly $23.4 billion. Public sector wage pauses and reforming balanced budget laws draw opposition critique.
